GTX 470/480 Availability Report

Who launches a card at 6pm on a Friday?

Traditionally, in politics, bad news (or mandatory announcements that politicians would rather want go unnoticed) are usually announced Friday evening. News announced Friday evening are too late to make it to the Saturday morning papers, and people read Sunday papers only for the ha-ha pages. By Monday it is a whole new week and people would be occupied with "new" news.

Just a thought.

Kyle/Brent/Etc - Are you guys going to use the 5970 in the Fermi article?

If the 480 can't woop a 5870 why bother.

Also done in financial circles, generally after the close of business.....so no stocks drop until the following business day, nor does any money change hands.

Words thrown around that the new Nvidia reviewer's guide is for GTX470 & 480 SLI, but against CF and the 5970.

e: Apparently didn't stop Hexus, but some other sites and a major German magazine are acting suspicious

That's a good point.
